From: Andrei Gherzan <[email protected]>

Grub tries to force the compilation in softfp mode for some known target
CPU. That is because it doesn't use floats or doubles and there are
known limitations of using a configuration with hardfp. There are though
target CPUs that grub won't know how to configure failing with something
similar to:

| checking for options to get soft-float... no
| configure: error: could not force soft-float

This change relaxes a bit the COMPATIBLE_HOST restriction to only apply
for hardfp configuration even for arm7ve/a.
